Bachelor party types

Just as there are certain types of customers who go to strip clubs, so there are types at bachelor parties. At parties, the roles seem even more consistent and sharply defined. Maybe that's because weddings tend to sort people into hierarchies based their relationship with the bride and groom. Anybody who's been to a wedding has a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about.

So here are a few bachelor party guest stereotypes.

1. The Bachelor

The big kahuna; the star of the show. He generally submits to his nude lap dances with a sense of obligation rather than genuine prurience. He's well-aware that he is his buddies' excuse to get drunk and throw money at strippers, and he doesn't want to disappoint. Though he's fortunate because we strippers lavish the bulk of our attention on him, he also has to put up with the type of humiliation games endemic to frat initiations. We put a dog collar on him, ride him around, make him drink beer from a dog bowl, etc--while his buds whoop and holler about how he has to "get used to it." We also yank down his pants and whip him with his own belt. This never fails to get an enthusiastic crowd response. For some reason, nothing riles up a group of straight men like watching another man get his ass spanked.

So yeah, generally the Bachelors are figureheads, an excuse, the quiet, vacant eye in the center of the storm. I think this bodes well for their marriages.

2. The Best Man

The Best Man really is the best, in my opinion, because he pays me. Unfortunately, he often suffers from the delusion that he's got an in with me. He's not unlike the loser at strip clubs who brags about "knowing all the staff" or "being friends with the manager." He thinks it's okay to bust into the room where I'm changing, or to follow me in to the bathroom between sets and make suggestions and note the time remaining, or to ask me if I need a drink and if everything is "okay" (I don't mind this as much as the other two). Basically, he thinks that the rules that apply to the others guests don't apply to him. It's probably the closest he will ever get to having any authority over strippers, and it doesn't hurt too much to indulge his ego trip. But you have to be firm with him and tell him to get out, or he will hang around while you are trying to change, touch up your makeup, and otherwise chill for a few minutes.

Also, the Best Man expects special treatment since he's dishing out the cash (or collecting it from his buddies), so in the bachelor party hierarchy, his needs are second only to the Bachelor's.

3. The Guy Who's Way Too Into It (TGWWTII)

Unabashedly horny and grope-y, assumes you are full service and propositions you accordingly.
"What do you say I go down on you for a while?" TGWWTII asked last weekend. "I'm sure all these guys--" TGWWTII gestured at the circle of party attendees--"would tip very generously to watch."
"Um...no."

4. The Virgin

The Virgin is always quite young and cute and enthusiastic. He smiles beatifically at my breasts and makes me feel like a sexy temptress. He's just as horny as TGWWTII, but he's so awkward and dorky that it's kind of adorable, like watching a bunny rabbit hump a coffee table leg.

The Virgin's job is To Make The Non-Virgins Feel Good About Their Relative Sexual Prowess. The Non-Virgins in the room get to make sage remarks, like "See, that's what a clit looks like," and wry observations to one another about the Virgin's overly excited reaction to the lap dances ("Wow, he's really enjoying that.") They also have ironic nicknames for him, which they deploy when he does something particularly bold, like rip his own shirt off: "You animal! Go for it, you sex god, you!"

If the Virgin knows that everyone else is having a chuckle at his expense, he never seems to mind.

5. The Drill Sergeant

He spends most of the show barking out orders: "Suck on her titties a little. Now grab that ass. Go ahead, grab it. Stick your finger up in there." We ignore him at first. Eventually, we tell him to shut up.

6. The "Gay" Guy

Declines lapdances--"I'm gay!"--but spends the entire show glued to his chair, mesmerized or snapping pictures with his phone. Occasionally turns out to be a hetero dude masquerading as gay to avoid getting too intimate with us and potentially angering his wife. Or possibly he's living out a fantasy of his own, one that involves less lapdancing and more role-playing.

Interesting and funny article. i always like a dancer's perspective and you ladies are usually much better writers - "genuine prurience" and the clear format a case in point. (going to dictionary.com now lol). i would like to think that i dont fit any of these molds as im usually just my regular horndog self - bachelor party, small group or solo. Now im curious what "type" the dancers normally pigeonhole me as...

I've never been into, nor understand the humor, of humiliation - e.g. the shit the strippers do to the bachelor b/c that is what the entourage wants/expects - seems as if the entourage is as much there for their entertainment (which includes somewhat humiliating the bachelor), as for the bachelor's entertainment.

To me just getting the bachelor some dances and female-attention should be the way to go and for everyone to have fun w/o having it turn into an episode of Jerry Springer - I guess most people are just followers unable or unwilling to think for themselves and just keep following stupid outdated norms.

Funny comments from the dancer's perspective. I agree with Papi. I've been to numerous bachelor parties. Embarrassing the groom was never a goal.

Our motto for everyone that attended; there was obligation to buy at least one dance for the groom. At my bachelor party, we had about 25 guys attend. I had tits in my face for hours. Oh, the mammories !

There's an old-school joke some DJs run on the bachelor when he gets taken up on the stage where the DJ asks him "so Joe do you remember your first blowjob?" - the bachelor will usually answer "oh yeah" - the DJ then says "so what did it taste like" - LOL

People I worked with were inviting me to bachelor parties. The same guy who was organizing the parties was also the one taking pictures. Their two girls were very interesting to me. But that kind of male bonding, no. And especially now with the alcohol and the tobacco.

^^^^^ I would not want to have a bachelor party for myself, and probably I have declined invitations.

I mean it is all bogus. If the groom to be likes the party girls, then why is he not marrying one of them?

Place I worked for, a team leader would organize these, and he would take pictures and show them off. What a fuck! The guy was a first class asshole in all measures.

At our local strip clubs, some girls would say, "And I do bachelor parties too." While probably that is true, there is not likely that much demand for bachelor parties. Really it means she is ready to do OTC, possibly as soon as she gets off.

At the Sunnyvale Brass Rail, some guys, often Asian, would come up to a girl on stage at the end of her set and ask, "Do you do bachelor parties, while handing her a business card."

The standard answer would be a tepid, "Well, sometimes."

Who knows what she really does. But I also thought the guy untactful to ask out in the open like that.

Girl at the Hip Hugger was always telling me about how she wanted to do a bachelor party, but having never done it before she was afraid. What she really meant was she was inviting me to invite her for P4P OTC. She could see that I liked her, but was not moving on civvie dating.

Some girls at the former S. J. T's would pass out business cards with 1-800 numbers, for their party agency. But it also meant that OTC was possible. More 1:1 OTC than actual bachelor parties.

For myself I don't like the idea of a bachelor party.

Pre-marital infidelity, real stupid.

Homo-social bonding, also real stupid in my book.

With friends and co-workers, further real stupid.

Often alcohol and tobacco issue.
